Chelsea forward Alvaro Morata has overcome a hamstring knock in time to feature in the starting team that will take on Roma at Stamford Bridge, the Premier League side revealed Wednesday.
Morata has been out of action since suffering a hamstring strain during Chelsea's 1-0 loss to Manchester City on Sept. 30.
He was sorely missed during the Blues' stunning 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace last week, but managed to return to training Tuesday.
Since joining Chelsea from Real Madrid last summer, Morata has scored seven goals in nine Premier League matches.
